Ask for More

Be Bold

We can see the future in what we do because we’re creating it together. We constantly seek inspiration and connect dots that no one else does. We don’t shy away from the world’s biggest problems. It takes courage.

Be a Steward

Beauty

Beauty permeates everything we do. From visual design to communication, writing code, etc. We take pride in our variety of trades, and we succeed not by volume, but the craftsmanship of the work we do and solutions we propose. Focus Lab team members live for craftsmanship, not diluted efforts to produce “more.”

Bring energy

Build Community

So much of what we do depends on the time and effort we put into our work every day. That’s why we’re focused on taking care of each other. We connect with individuals who rely on our service. We create great jobs. We empower the cities we do business in. In short, we make a difference in people’s lives. The community we’re creating isn’t an accident – it’s purposeful, meaningful, and fundamental to our success.

Collaboration

Collaboration

Collaboration is working together in the creation and execution of ideas. It means committing time and energy to overcoming challenges of your team members. It means giving good and timely feedback as well as incorporating feedback from others.

Connecting Personally

Continuous Learning and Growing

Contribution

Core Standard: Ask More Questions

Demand better answers. We believe that pushing the envelope helps to solidify and defend thoughts/concepts, and reshapes thinking. A strong idea or concept will withstand the stress test and will be better at the finish line for having undergone the scrutiny.

Core Standard: Craft isn’t Enough

Soft skills for the win. We are a team of people who excel in our craft, but Focus Lab is built on more than just skill-sets. Our strength is forged by a commitment to over-deliver, to exceptional client experiences, and to solid personal relationships. As such, we approach each day and each opportunity with genuine empathy, patience, openness, and passion.

Core Standard: Make it Better

There’s always room for improvement. This value remains continuous in our thoughts — a defined intention across all touchpoints of our organization. The carrot that drives our decision-making and, ultimately, our end product, this objective also waxes personal, stoking our internal flames. Because each one of us accepted the open-ended challenge to keep climbing the ladder to greatness.

Core Standard: People Over Profits

It ain’t about the Benjamins. Relationships are our gold standard. We want to work with awesome people. Because, for us, success is measured by positive experiences, not the bottom line. As such, we strive to surround ourselves with both smart and passionate team members and clients, those who will grow our minds and hearts and not just our wallets.

Core Standard: Work to Live

Life comes first. Work is only one piece in the personal pie chart of life, and we aim to keep it that way. Since we are only as strong as our people, we encourage each other to work hard, play hard, and rest hard. Whenever possible, we help cultivate their passions. And we consider their interests and strengths when we take on jobs. After all, if you love what you do it’s never really work.

Creativity

Cultivate Curiosity

Customer Obsession

Customer Obsession means you never lose sight of why you are doing what you're doing: who is my customer (api client, end user, etc)? What am I doing to make their situation better? How do I know if I'm succeeding?

Excellence

Excellence on Repeat

Every day, we strive for excellence. From our product, to our service, to our relationships, we consistently set high goals for ourselves. We relish our victories but never rest on our laurels. We create experiences that work like magic. And then we do it again.

Humbletude

Humility

Humility

Hunger

passion to persevere and hunger to keep motivated to continue "hunting", this should help us define the concept of grit at MagmaLabs. We must keep a strong desire for being the best at what we do and to keep moving forward in order to grow.
